LOL, thanks for all the praise guys. No pressure for me to keep it up then!?

But I need some help now. The camp will be 80x60mm. I'm not sure whether to do a truncated beach scene, with the tent FAR too close to the water, or a fully dry scene, allowing for more freedom of placing the different elements of the camp, but perhaps raising eyebrowsa as to why the ship is there...

I propose a truncated beach scene, with minimum (if not at all) water. As the vessel is light, it could be fully drawn out on the beach... So, you might make just a few mm look like the edge of the water. The rest will be a sandy beach of course. You exploit the longitude of the base, so as the tent(s) to be the further possible from the water.

Lovely colour schemes, but where are the topless lassies vaulting over bulls?

I did convert a lady wearing an open front Minoan dress for my camp. More than that is asking to much for my limited talents! 😉

These look great. Love the conversions on your boats.
Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.

Gorgeous. They'd be impressive at 15mm. The fact they're around 3 times samller than that is admirable.

I reckon that's the death certificate for an Ancients version of Irregular Wars then? :'(

Very nice armies, though. And one of my favourite topics, if all in the 'wrong' scale. ;) Honestly admire your clean paintjobs on those tiny buggers.
